AKH, this is the 3rd time Ive thanked you for the donation. Last time. Anyway, I have diabetes too and was so excited to find this thread. I, like you, have to have my monitor, my insulin and some glucose tablets. Do you like the purse you got on ebay? After all of your supplies is there extra room? What kind of regiman do you follow. I got on the pump 4 months ago and I LOVE it but cannot decide what to do for the wedding/honeymoon. I could take a vacation from the pump I would rather not but I think that managing it while swimming etc. could be problematic. If I decide to use syringes I would need to find something to maintain my insulins temperature on the beach. I remember hearing about a great tool for this but can't quite remember now.
